Bhagavad Gita 1.45
अहो बत महत्पापं कर्तुं व्यवसिता वयम्।यद्राज्यसुखलोभेन हन्तुं स्वजनमुद्यताः॥
aho bata mahatpāpaṃ kartuṃ vyavasitā vayam |yadrājyasukhalobhena hantuṃ svajanamudyatāḥ ||
Alas! We are involved in a great sin, for we are prepared to kill our kinsmen, out of greed for the pleasures of a kingdom.
Alas, it is strange that we should be willing to kill our own countrymen and commit a great sin, in order to enjoy the pleasures of kingdom.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
